The RedMagic 11 Air is launching internationally, positioning itself as the brand’s slimmest and lightest “Air” model yet, without compromising the performance-first approach it’s known for.
The headline feature is what’s inside. Despite being 12% thinner and 10% lighter than the full-fat RedMagic 11 Pro, the 11 Air runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with RedMagic’s own RedCore R4 gaming chip and CUBE system-level scheduling.
This setup is designed to keep frame rates stable and responsiveness high, even during long gaming sessions, while staying relatively slim and light for a gaming phone.
Despite the slimmer profile, battery life hasn’t been sacrificed. The phone packs a 7,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging, aiming to keep extended play sessions interruption-free. Thermal management is handled by RedMagic’s ICE cooling system, which is designed to prevent throttling when things heat up.
RedMagic is also pushing the 11 Air’s ergonomics. It’s the most portable device in the Air series so far. The phone is built to feel lighter in hand while still offering the high-refresh display tech, fast memory and precision gaming controls the brand’s fans expect.
The phone launches in Phantom and Prism finishes, with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage or 16GB RAM and 512GB storage configurations available.
International buyers will be able to pick one up via RedMagic itself and select third-party retailers, complete with early-bird incentives for keen fans.
From February 5 to 10, 2026, customers can grab an Early Bird voucher for $/£/€1, which knocks $/£/€30 off the final price and includes a free gift. Early access begins on February 10. This comes ahead of the global open sale on February 11.
Pricing for the RedMagic 11 Air starts at £439/$499 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
With a lighter design, flagship silicon and a battery that still means business, the RedMagic 11 Air is aimed at gamers who want serious performance without carrying a brick in their pocket.
